 # mach-virt - VirtIO guest (serial console)
 # =========================================================
 #
 # Usage:
 #
 #   $ qemu-system-aarch64 \
 #     -nodefaults \
 #     -readconfig mach-virt-serial.cfg \
 #     -display none -serial mon:stdio \
 #     -cpu host
 #
 # You will probably need to tweak the lines marked as
 # CHANGE ME before being able to use this configuration!
 #
 # The guest will have a selection of VirtIO devices
 # tailored towards optimal performance with modern guests,
 # and will be accessed through the serial console.
 #
 # ---------------------------------------------------------
 #
 # Using -nodefaults is required to have full control over
 # the virtual hardware: when it's specified, QEMU will
 # populate the board with only the builtin peripherals,
 # such as the PL011 UART, plus a PCI Express Root Bus; the
 # user will then have to explicitly add further devices.
 #
 # The PCI Express Root Bus shows up in the guest as:
 #
 #   00:00.0 Host bridge
 #
 # This configuration file adds a number of other useful
 # devices, more specifically:
 #
 #   00.1c.* PCI bridge (PCI Express Root Ports)
 #   01:00.0 SCSI storage controller
 #   02:00.0 Ethernet controller
 #
 # More information about these devices is available below.
 #
 # We use '-display none' to prevent QEMU from creating a
 # graphical display window, which would serve no use in
 # this specific configuration, and '-serial mon:stdio' to
 # multiplex the guest's serial console and the QEMU monitor
 # to the host's stdio; use 'Ctrl+A h' to learn how to
 # switch between the two and more.


 # Machine options
 # =========================================================
 #
 # We use the virt machine type and enable KVM acceleration
 # for better performance.
 #
 # Using less than 1 GiB of memory is probably not going to
 # yield good performance in the guest, and might even lead
 # to obscure boot issues in some cases.
 #
 # Unfortunately, there is no way to configure the CPU model
 # in this file, so it will have to be provided on the
 # command line, but we can configure the guest to use the
 # same GIC version as the host.

 # Firmware configuration
 # =========================================================
 #
 # There are two parts to the firmware: a read-only image
 # containing the executable code, which is shared between
 # guests, and a read/write variable store that is owned
 # by one specific guest, exclusively, and is used to
 # record information such as the UEFI boot order.
 #
 # For any new guest, its permanent, private variable store
 # should initially be copied from the template file
 # provided along with the firmware binary.
 #
 # Depending on the OS distribution you're using on the
 # host, the name of the package containing the firmware
 # binary and variable store template, as well as the paths
 # to the files themselves, will be different. For example:
 #
 # Fedora
 #   edk2-aarch64                                      (pkg)
